AUSTRIA

The Pfaffl winery is situated in the village of Stetton in Austria’s Weinviertel (wine quarter) within Niederösterreich (lower Austria), not far from Vienna. Today the estate comprises 90 hectares and is run by Roman Pfaffl and his sister Heidi Fischer. Roman looks after the vineyards and is the winemaker with Heidi running the administrative and marketing side of the business.

The Dot Austrian Peach Riesling is very pale in appearance with a soft and fruity nose reminiscent of (yes, you guessed it!) peaches. The palate is dry and soft, extremely well balanced with a distinct “mouthfeel” and a hint of richness. The finish is very long and persistent.

The Dot Austrian Pepper Grüner Veltliner is made from fruit picked slightly later than the main crop and longer skin contact gives a fuller, richer style of wine.

Pale straw in appearance, the nose is full of ripe fruit and citrus zest. The palate is dry and rounded with good texture. Apple and citrus flavours and hints of spicy pepper gives the wine great presence. The finish is very long and flavoursome with good acidity.
